22 Shu Road is difficult, but it can still walk
The carriage that Yang Xianrong rode in was extremely luxurious, after all, it was the carriage of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and the exclusive atmosphere of imperial power was very obvious, even the wooden wheels were inlaid with a gold edge, and there was a shining scene in some warm sunny days in Shudi.
Xiao Ruobai, the county magistrate of Qingyang County, smacked his tongue quietly, although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask more and look more, just stood on the side of the road honestly, and guessed in his heart about the appearance of the woman sitting here.
However, these are all royal matters, and his identity and status are not qualified to be able to see the true face now.
The curtain of the carriage was tightly drawn, and Yang Xianrong did not get out of the carriage. The maidservant girl in the car coughed a few times, and Zhang Lianghoe, who was sitting next to the wheel, immediately whispered, "Keep moving." ”
Sima Ying didn't say much, he just waved his hand, letting Xiao Ruobai lead the way in front, and everyone had to go to the county office to rest first.
Along the way, Yang Xianrong quietly observed Sima Ying and found that he was not a person of many words. And he is not a person who can easily trust others or let others get closer.
Just as when they passed by a huge bazaar, Yang Xianrong couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma of delicious food, and got out of the car to wander around. Sima Ying and Liu Yao don't have much to say, after all, her status is the most noble. Therefore, a large group of people followed her, which was very conspicuous.
Later, Yang Xianrong disliked that this "tail" was too long, so he only let Sima Ying and Liu Yao stay by his side for protection, and the rest of the people were scattered in the crowd and followed silently.
In the bustling bazaar, the flow of people is bustling and lively.
Sima Ying, this personable man, because of his elegant temperament and handsome appearance, has naturally become the focus of women's attention, and his charm far surpasses that of Liu Yao, a rugged man.
There were enthusiastic vendors who introduced those delicious and fun things to Yang Xianrong, but Sima Ying blocked them all. However, Liu Yao happily accompanied Yang Xianrong to pick and choose together, and he was very happy.
But how to say it, Sima Ying is rigorous and exquisite, and she also hates those vulgar people and objects. He also doesn't like the food in the market, and only eats the dishes in the big restaurants. Even the sheep were advised not to eat these things, because they were not clean.
The county government is in the center of Qingyang County, and the flow of people is also huge.
Pedestrians avoided their group and whispered and discussed.
Sima Ying didn't pay attention to these things, just walked in with a blank face, and asked the attendants behind to hurry up and drive the carriage of the sheep into it.
The courtyard of the county government is spacious and peaceful, and a few ancient cypress trees sway in the breeze and make a rustling sound, adding a bit of vividness to this solemn place.
When Yang Xianrong got off the carriage here, Sima Ying was already standing under the carriage waiting for her.
After Zhang Liang shoved down the footstool steadily, Cui Xi carefully lifted the curtain. Lan Xiang quickly got out of the car, and Yang Xianrong slowly got out of the car.
Although Xiao Ruobai kept his head down, he had already made a judgment on the identity of the person who came in his heart. According to the secret letter he received from his colleagues in Luoyang City two days ago, he made it clear that Queen Yang Xianrong would personally come here with Sima Ying to secretly investigate the matter of "toilet paper".
Undoubtedly, as the only county producing "toilet paper", his situation is extremely sensitive. The royal family has been suffering from diarrhea for a long time due to "toilet paper", and if he is implicated in this matter, he even has to worry about his life. Therefore, he must be cautious in dealing with such important investigative matters.
"Alright, salute the queen." Sima Ying saw that Yang Xianrong had already gotten out of the carriage, so she asked everyone to salute, "Even if it is outside, there should still be etiquette." ”
"Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose." The people of the county government of Qingyang County all knelt on the ground and bowed three times and bowed nine times.
Yang Xianrong is now accustomed to this kind of etiquette, and after watching them perform the salute very calmly, he nodded and said loudly: "Let's be free of courtesy." ”
"Thank you, Queen." Xiao County's order led people to salute in unison.
Sima Ying coughed lightly twice, and Xiao Xianling and the others hurriedly knelt down again, "The prince is a thousand years old." ”
It's finally a thorough courtesy, and there is no rudeness.
Xiao Xian Ling quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, bowed down again and said: "Back to the queen mother, prince, the lower officials have cleaned the backyard, you are tired of traveling, you can go to the back to rest first......"
"This doesn't bother Xiao County." Sima Ying glanced at him, "You can go on your own business." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Although his body still maintained a state of bowing and bending, in fact, his heart had long been eager to leave.
Yang Xianrong didn't stay, and followed Sima Ying and they went straight to the backyard.
Xiao Ruobai is accompanied by only one old mother, so the residence in the backyard is very clean. What's more, he also sent his mother to a friend's house to stay for a few days earlier, waiting for Sima Ying and them to leave and come back.
Yang Xianrong didn't dislike the simplicity here, but after sitting down and drinking a sip of hot water, he felt much more comfortable. After days of traveling, the whole person is tired a lot. The point is that they came with a mission, and they were not in the mood to hang out.
"Next, do you have any instructions from the queen mother?" Sima Ying stood aside and looked at her.
"Lord Wang." Yang Xianrong smiled, "You have worked hard all the way, why do you have to stand, sit down." Besides, this is not in the palace, and you and I are not so angry. ”
"This is the courtesy of the royal family, and it should be."
Here again is Sima Ying's sense of alienation along the way makes Yang Xianrong very aggrieved.
"Okay, now this is not a place to pay attention to etiquette, if we can find the root of the problem as soon as possible, find out the murderer or the cause as soon as possible, and we can go back quickly." Yang Xianrong put down the hot water in his hand, looked at Liu Yao, who was walking in, and said in a deep voice: "Don't reveal my identity, just the maid who follows the prince......"
"No." Without waiting for Yang Xianrong to finish speaking, Sima Ying had already categorically refused.
"What's not to do. That's or so, I'm still the female clerk of the Northern Military Mansion, and I followed the prince to Shu to go around, and Brother Liu is my military guard, so it's always okay, right? In fact, Yang Xianrong has long wanted to arrange it like this, and she wanted to arrange it like this from the moment she left Luoyang City, which was also convenient for her actions. It's much more comfortable and free than having to hide in a luxurious carriage all the way.
"I'm okay with that." Liu Yao dusted off his body, "It would be better if I could eat meat and drink a lot." Following the prince all the way, they all said that Shu Dao was difficult, but in fact, it was not too difficult. That's how to eat, all the restaurants I went to, and the food was too exquisite...... I didn't have enough to eat, and it was hard. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Liu, don't be like this, the food in the restaurant is quite expensive." Yang Xianrong smiled very happily, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed, without the dignified posture that he had deliberately made just now.
